New release by JD3 (formerly The Jondo Trio)

I stumbled across this blues rock band a few years ago on eMusic and bought their debut album and a single that I thought would become a new record.  It didn't.  But, I have played that album quite a bit.  They sound like what would happen if Waylon Jennings sang with ZZ Top but they all got saved.

Well, I again stumbled across a new album that was released digitally last year.  They now are called JD3 as this trio now has a keyboard player.  So, I guess they decided on JD3 instead of The Jondo Quartet!  LOL

You can hear clips and buy the downloads at CD Baby:

Wow, interesting combination (good description).

I really like their first album, but I am absolutely loving the 2nd one.  You can hear the maturity in songwriting and how well the band has seasoned in playing together.  Also, better production makes this even cleaner sounding.  I just wish that CD Baby would get their contract with eMusic (they were bought out) renewed so I could get releases cheaper again!  I hate paying full price.

So that's why a bunch of emusic's content changed.  
Beware on the e-music site, I've noticed that they have several album prices more expensive than if you just downloaded each track.  Seems to be common to see an album price of $5.49, however each track on the 10-track album is only $0.49.....so if you bought each track individually it would only cost $4.90.
Not sure if they are going to catch on to that and "fix-it" so you can't take advantage of the cheaper "track" price.

I just hope they can tie back in with CD Baby.  While selling more cheaply, at least I was moving MP3s through them and getting a tiny paycheck from it.

The more I hear of this band the more I like them--especially the newest release!  I like their debut, but this one shows that the band has gelled and their songwriting has grown to fit what they are wanting to do.  This is a great blues/rock record.
